The former NATO base is truly a fantastic place. You can't get inside the bunker complex anymore. But there's plenty to discover around it. The beaver ponds, in particular, have become a real gem. With a bit of luck, you might even spot the beavers.

The ponds and their inflows have developed into a beaver area in recent years. The waterlogged areas and “processed” trees are clearly visible.
